For some reason I can never seem to get enough of the Single Red Submariner models. This one is unusual because Guillaume put a crystal on it with no cyclops lets, which gives the watch a SEA-DWELLER vibe.
Eduardo who is a daily reader of Jake's Rolex Watch Blog sent in these great stainless Daytona Shots and he wrote:

Jean Claude Van Damme is one bad-ass dude and one of the greatest martial artists that ever lived–even been compared to Bruce Lee. If you don't believe me, click here.
Here is another great martial art scene that shows how great of a martial artist Jean-Claude is.
This is a fascinating 1991 interview with Arsenio Hall interviewing Jean-Claude Van Damme and Jean-Claude is wearing a yellow gold Rolex Daytona almost 20 years ago.
Bruce Lee
The Master
Since we are looking at martial arts we gotta check out Bruce Lee who started the whole thing. In his early career in the United States, Bruce Lee played Kato on the TV show, The Green Hornet.
Of course, Bruce Lee went on to make great action movies like Enter The Dragon and Game Of Death.
Turn the volume way up!!!!
This is a scene from the 1978 movie, Game Of Death which is one of the most famous Bruce Lee fight scenes where he fights with Kareem Abdul Jabbar who is one of the greatest basketball players in history:
This is a really fascinating full-lenght interview with Bruce Lee!!!!:
Bernhard took this great shot of his vintage Porsche Design shades which he has had since he was 16. Ironically, Porsche discontinued selling them many years ago, but just last week brought them back to market. They stopped making them when Yoko kept wearing them. Just kidding ;-))) Only about the Yoko part. Imagine..... ;-)))
Bernhard is a great Rolex photographer and he paired up his vintage Rolex Submariner 5513 with his vintage Porshe Design shade which make a great combination. You can always find Bernhard on his 100Percent-Rolex Blog by clicking here.
Porsche Hotness
1970 Porsche Tapiro by Guigaro
Since we are on topic of 1970s Porsche design I though I would share this photo with you of an ultra-rare Porsche prototype named the Delorean. Oops!?! Just kidding again!!! Actually, this Porsche design prototype named the Porsche Tapiro was designed by Guigaro. Now if you just had the Porsche Design Shades, The car and the girl, you would be stoked!!!
Rene from Australia is crazy about Rolex Daytona models–modern and vintage. He took this great shot of his beautiful vintage Daytona models on Alligator straps, with their original Rolex Daytona brochure behind them.
Rene has his own watch blog named Timelord which you can visit by clicking here.
Historically Rolex has always been extremely secretive and discreet, and no journalists in the past have ever been invited "INSIDE ROLEX" to explore and report on all four Rolex Manufacturing faclities in Switzerland.
In November 2013, this changed when Rolex invited Jake to take an unprecdented journey into the heart of Rolex to learn and report on everything he witnessed and learned.
This Super-Detailed 3 Part Story is a "MUST READ" story for anybody who wants to understand what really makes Rolex tick.
